Django: How to execute a long running function after returning a response to the user?

Question

Django

Standard view function:

def view(request, id):
    article = get_object_or_404(Articles, id=id)
    return render(request, 'view.html', {'article': article})

And here we need to insert a function that will record visit statistics. It will crawl into the database, check for the existence of a record of this post and this user, and if there is none, it will create a new record.

def view(request, id):
    article = get_object_or_404(Articles, id=id)
    save_stat(request, article.id)
    return render(request, 'view.html', {'article': article})

But after some time, this function will be very long, and the user will have to wait until Django writes statistics about him, and only after that he will receive his answer.
Is it possible to first give the user a response, then, without his presence, save information about him?

Logically, you just need to execute an internal HTTP request and not wait for a response.
Of these solutions, there is Celery
